The Golden Globe Awards' top honor, best movie drama, could go to either 'Lincoln' or 'Argo' Sunday. Hosted by comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, the award show is sure to be a raucous star-studded evening.

Tina Fey, (l.), and Amy Poehler arrive at the 2012 Warner Bros. and InStyle Golden Globe After Party at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Jan. 15. Fey and Poehler are ready to crack each other up as co-hosts of the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday.

With Osama bin Laden movie "Zero Dark Thirty" and visually arresting shipwreck tale "Life of Pi" rounding out the best dramatic film contest, pundits say it's hard to predict which film will come out on top.

"They really seem to like Tarantino at the HFPA," said Pete Hammond, awards columnist for entertainment industry website Deadline.com.

"But I am guessing it will come down to 'Argo' versus 'Lincoln.' They like them both enormously at the HFPA, so I think it's a battle to the finish for those two," Hammond told Reuters.

The GoldenGlobes, which will be broadcast live on NBC television, is Hollywood's second-biggest awards show after February's Oscars, or Academy Awards. But its influence on that race has been sapped this year because Oscar nominations were announced three days ago, instead of a week after the Globes awards show.

Unlike the Academy Awards, the GoldenGlobes have a separate category for film comedies or musicals, and they also honor television dramas and comedies.

The women will bring a fresh vibe to the festivities after three years in which acidic Briton Ricky Gervais has cracked the jokes.

"I think Tina and Amy may reserve their sharpest jabs for each other, and overall keep a little bit of a friendlier tone. I don't think they will go into the night wanting to skewer anyone, except maybe each other," said Dave Karger, chief correspondent at Fandango.com.

Poehler jokingly told Entertainment Weekly last week that Globes evening "is just the right amount of weird for us," and that the duo would "kind of encourage people to go off their meds for one night."
